November 7, 2023
Automatic and selective financial aid is granted to support the video publishing of cinematographic and audiovisual works.
Automatic and selective financial aid is granted to support the video publishing of cinematographic and audiovisual works.
The award of financial aid for the video publishing of cinematographic and audiovisual works is subject to the provisions of Commission Regulation (EU) No 651/2014 of 17 June 2014 declaring certain categories of aid compatible with the internal market in application of Articles 107 and 108 of the Treaty, in particular those provided for in Chapter I and Article 54 of Section 11 relating to aid schemes for audiovisual works.
The beneficiaries of aid for the videographic publication of cinematographic and audiovisual works are publishers of videograms intended for the private use of the public.
To be eligible for aid for the videographic publication of cinematographic and audiovisual works, videogram publishers must meet the following conditions:1° They must be established in France;2° Their chairmen, directors or managers, as well as the majority of their directors, must be French nationals or assimilated;3° They must be up to date with payment of the tax on the physical and online distribution of audiovisual content provided for inarticle 1609…
Public institutions and their subsidiaries are not eligible for selective financial aid.
Videogram publishers can only benefit from aid for videographic publishing of a cinematographic work if the contract for the acquisition of the videographic publishing rights for the work has first been entered in the public film and audiovisual register.
Videogram publishers ensure the exploitation of cinematographic works in the form of videograms intended for the private use of the public in compliance with the provisions of articles L. 231-1 and D. 231-1 to D. 231-5 of the Code du cinéma et de l’image animée.
The total amount of aid for video editing of cinematographic and audiovisual works may not exceed 50% of the final cost of editing. In addition, the aid granted may not have the effect of increasing the total amount of public financial aid to more than 50% of this cost.
Automatic financial support for the video production of cinematographic and audiovisual works involves the allocation of investment grants and direct grants.
The sums representing the automatic financial aid to which videogram publishers are entitled are calculated by applying a rate to the amount of turnover declared by them for each feature film for which production approval has been granted.
